I am surprised,as our farmers markets allows for food stamps,on most items,except prepared and I live in a small midwest town. I am also on a tight budget,and it does seem to cost quite a bit more,to eat healthy,organic food. I would look in your local grocery store,for sale items,especially fruit and vegies,and you can also go to groupons.com and look for coupons for the food you buy. I have saved a lot of money this way. Google your condition and see what foods are best for you,then start with that. If you cook,make up batches of soup,or other dishes,and freeze them in individual portions. I buy grapes,blueberries,etc., and freeze them. I cut up a small banana,freeze it,then blend it,and voila-ice cream. Do you like herbal teas? Peppermint tea is easy on the stomach,and also ginger tea. Makes water tasty.Good luck. There is so much good advice here. Keep on keepin on!
